Multiple Light Tracking with Distinct Light Boxes

[MaHaGoN]

Team 250 has been hard at work with the camera, and we have finished our multiple light tracking.

Here is a video of it in action.

For more information on how it works, and what it does, visit http://cr4.globalspec.com/blog/29/Ro...e-Dynamos-Blog The information is up there now. From there you can learn more about it, and get in touch with us about the possibility of beta code. Now that is up, feel free to read the other blogs our team has posted or comment here and we can discuss it further.

Also, I figured I would take what my teammate jt250 said below and put it in the first post so it is easier to find when visiting the thread.

This allows you to write back to the camera without it flooding you out with data. (This may not actually be necessary, but it seemed to work more reliably for us when we did this)

Now cycle through this loop:

1. Using the regular camera window, track onto a target. A T Packet will be sent
2. Based on the centroid coordinates in the T Packet (labeled .mx and .my in Mr. Watson's code), draw a Virtual window with the following parameters: 1, 1, centroid_x, 239. Then resend the Track Color command
3. Now draw a virtual window from: centroid_x, 1, 159, 239. Resend the Track Color command.
4. Set the virtual window back to the full view: 1, 1, 159, 239 and go back to step one.

I will try to keep this post up to date with pertinent information.
